SPORTS CHART OF THE DAY: Passing In The NFL Continues To Skyrocket

At some point, the onslaught of passing in the NFL
will slow down. But we aren't there yet. Not even close.

This season, the NFL is averaging 480.8 yards passing per game.
And while that number will drop a bit when the cold weather
arrives, it is currently up 4.7% from a year ago and up 20.0% in
the last ten years. This comes after a period of about 20 years
in which the amount of passing was relatively unchanged.
